India strongly opposed the idea of a two-tier permanent membership system in the United Nations Security Council, arguing that it would create inequality by granting some permanent members no veto powers. Instead, it backed the G4 proposal, which suggests deferring veto rights for newly added permanent members for 15 years until a review is conducted. Represented by Ambassador P. Harish, India emphasised fair reform and expansion of both permanent and non-permanent categories. The stance reflects India’s long-standing demand for a more equitable and representative UNSC structure.
